Overall Content Rating: Restricted R
This fantasy adventure follows a young woman with a painful past as she navigates theft, military camps, magical bonds with animals, and growing ties to knights and allies. Tone shifts between travel, political tension, humor among friends, and darker threads involving captivity and revenge. Parents should expect frequent violence and injury imagery, references to past rape and wartime sexual violence, demeaning language about women, and scenes of parental or partner control and physical abuse. Language includes occasional swearing and recurring insults in heated exchanges; there is romantic tension but sampled material does not show explicit sexual acts on the page.

About this book
THIS CHRISTIAN FANTASY COLLECTION CONTAINS FOUR NOVELS. Dead but alive. Alone but surrounded. Immersed in grief and hatred, and longing for home. Zara desires nothing more than death. Everything has been stripped away. Her husband. Her unborn child. Her life. Her world. Nothing remains that matters. And yet, the knight who watches over her won't let he die. Neither will the ghost of a dead soldier sent to protect her. Though this world has nothing to offer, Zara tries to fit in. Sort of. The people who have given her shelter seek to change her. Change is the last thing she desires. They mean well, but they don't understand why she holds onto the past. To make matters worse, the one who took everything from her continues to pursue her. Sear'danian Knight Tarsius MacGeddin had no idea what he was getting into when he saved Zara's life. Her presence turns his life upside down, and that's only the beginning. Read more
